Rut's, APRIL 2.—lt was recollected on drawing up the Charter what fatal influence had been exer cised by Committees in the Constituent .Assembly, the Convention, &c., and it was wished, to pre vent its recurrence, in reserving to the King alone the initiative of every law. It'was wished to p'rev:ent the existence of Committees, and as a preliminary examination and consideration of the proposed law could not take place before the General Assembly, the 'preliminarY discussion was assigned to the Bureaux.. The Chamber itself could not mistake this manifest intention of the Charter on drawing - up its b'ye laws, but it appears rather tO have studied how to avoid it, than to adopt it, trout the in convenience it felt of haVing the opinion of each Bureau expressed at the Tribune by a Connuis sioner, tolien from amongst its Members ; it has authorized the nomination of one or two Mem bers from each Bureau, to form a Committee;and compare, combine, and form out of the indivi dual opinions, 'which were nearly analogous, an opinion which should be delivered at the .Tribune by a single Reporter, selected from the Members of such Committee, as the result of the discussions, not Only in the Committee, but in each . Bureau. This is the only attribute,, according to the Charter and the regulations of the Chamber, that any Committee can have, which is chosen in con sequence of the presentation of a law. How happens it then that these Commissioners arrogate the right of organizing themselves into real Committees, and sumovon the Ministers to treat with them on the principles of equality of power, and divide the Ministry, which should present an entire unity of principle and conduct, in attacking each Minister in particular, to obtain individual concessions from him which the 'desire of , maintaining his popularity and his credit may determine each of them to consent to without consulting his colleagues ; to have an official cor respondence—to oppose the Directors-General and the Under-Secretaries of State to the Minis ters on whom they depend—to reject the clauses of laws proposed and substitute new ones in their stead, and ascend the Tribune with a Projet essentially different from that presented in the King's name by the Ministry, and announce that this new Projet is the result' of the discussions of the Committee, that it has then been carried by a majority, and in 6ne to declare, when the public discussion• commences, that it adopts or rejects such or such an araendment proposed at the Tribune ? Hence it is in vain that the . charter has.wished ►to preserve the Government and the Chamber itself from the influence of Committees—the word alone is changed, and the influence of Commis sions replaces it. These reflections apply to every species of law proposed ; but in applying them in luirticnlar to those on Pittance, it is easy to per ceive that the Chamber of Deputies, by the me chum of its. Commissions, which commence by I destroying its independence, will finish by usurp ing itself the Royal Initiative, and perhaps even I the Government. Under the pretext Of the Finances every thing May be attacked, for nothing is ,done without money ; and refusing funds to the Ministers, if they in their turn refuse to adopt such or such a measure, tvhich it bas pleased the majority of the Commission of the Budget to prescribe, it is, in other words, forcing the King to govern accord ing to the good pleasure of the Chamber, and, in fact, ,be absolutely dependent on them :—this would be in the style of the Commons' Address to CHARLES IL, wittily paraphrased by Ro- CHESTER : • If our Lorel the King would but lay down. His sovereign dignity and crown, We'd wake him, for tbetnne to come, The greatest Prince inthristendum. CHARLES'S answer, CHARLES, at this time having no need, Thanks you as Much as if you did, would be good policy in' his . Majesty Louis XVIII., if i.e would preserve the Crown be wears in all its splendour and purity, and suffer no profane hands to touch its prerogatives. It is inure easy to demonstrate the vice and danger of this order of things than to present a temedy,thellifficulty is still increasing; from the .concessions rece►►tly made by the Ministersovbicb 'bas given new strength to ti'e Chamber. If is looked upon as impossible, i►► matters of Finance, to return to what is past, but it is riot so .to pause on the brinl of the precipice, dOtl'H which one step farther would burl the Govern ment. To attain this desirable end, the Chamber of Deputies should he brought back to the Charter ; its usurped tight to make amendments sho . nid boldly. contes t ed, as well as the clisctss.io ‘ n by the means of Commissions. It might, perhaps, be impolitic - to raise the question on - such a sub jc.ct as the law on the Finances, or indeed any .other important law, for it Woldd infallibly be re jected ; but in a law of tnio9r importance the principle might safely be discussed, and the'point settled. t might also be well to 'examine whether the exercise of this right to amend should not be fixed by a law, as well as the mode of the discus sions, and the 'private communications between the Bureaux and the MinistrY, taken collectively. Such a law I conceive to be jeasiblkt and . 'ne cessary, but ere it is presented a new distribution of the Ministerial attributes seems necessary, such, in fact, as it has already pointed out. The Ministry will ne7er ha've 'a 'real majority in the Chamber . , but according as it is strong and united 'in its views, for what can it expect but divided opinions amongst its friends when 'itself Is divided in its vieces and principles,. The pf:esent Session is, perhap4, too 'far ad vanced to attempt Chest measures, and as the vice is radical in the Chamber, it would, perhaps, be tii.e wisest plan to (dissolve it as soon as possible, and to effect this, adopt the Projet of the com mission.of the Budget in its - present state, except ing as to the alienation of 760,000 francs of rents - - beltmging to the Sinking Fund, the Loan, and the bargain concluded with the Bank ; these, for the honour of the Ministry, ought to be de fended in the strongest manner. . The adoption of the Budget would cloie the Seslion the new, one would open under the Auspices or a new organization of the. Ministerial Powers, and would have to deliberate on the right of amendments, and thus settle the point. To return to the Finances, the Minister would he forced to set .out from the law, the law of the 25th March, 1817, and that ►4OW under discussion, because the one has been passed, and the other will have been agreed to. Now, according to these laws, the Budget, pro perly so caned, will consist of three parts :- Ist, The receipts and expences since the account last furnished to the Chambers., which will serve as a basis for fixing the annual impost, and fixing the expences contained in the last law on the finances, *and thus present the balance of re sources and expellees 'which it had ordered.- 2d, The supposed necessary expences under the new organization, which will be the object of the new annual vote of the Chamber.-3d, The Ways and Means. These . facts 'formllhe Appendix, or union of the accounts, whiCh each Minister lt ss to furnish, according to the law, and are the only documents which the Uhanibers have a right to demand. By a necessary consequence of this Expose, the law on the Yinances ought . only to consist of three or four artielesi one to give an account of Monies expended, another to regulate the mode of future Expenditure, and the third Ways and Mears. If new imposts or modifications of the present are•requiSite, they only require to be indi cated. There would be po apprehension of such a Budget being refused, because, every thing being clearly and simply explained, and the object of the public weal being apparent in every part of k, it would be sure to gain applause; awl as France is not yet so well informed as she ought to be on the benefit of the representative system, the balance of powers, and the necessity of unity of concep tion and execution in every department of the Government, it the Council of State were to discuss these questions in the interval of the Ses sions, and publish the result, it would enlighten the public mind, and prepare the matter fur the Deputies, who would thus he preriously well ac quainted with the subjects . Such are a few of the regulations which appear to me necessary in the Legislative Government of France ; for the present system is decidedly bad, and can only lead to unfortunate results. There has just appeared a most remarkable pamphlet, that is to say, I have got it ; but it is very doubtful whether the Police will not clap its iron fangs. upon it. It describes in so Strung and lively a roanner . the different Parties that divide France, that I feel certain it will amuse your Readers ; l•will-translate it, and send the first part by the next post.

LITERARY REVIEW. A Pon' on the DEATH of her Bop& Highness the Princess CHARLOTTE. of \VALES and SAYE-COROURG By tl:e Rev. It. KENNEDY, A. M. late of St John's CoHuge, Cambridge, and now Minister of St. Paul's Chapel, iu Birmingham. J. HATcuARD, Piccadilly; and BAI.DwiN, CRADot and Joy, Paternoster-row; A. CONSTABLE and Co. Edinburgh ; and I3EILBY and KNorrs, Birmingham. Before we proceed to notice the Poem itself, it is proper to state the views of the Author in his brief Preface. 4-‘ The following P4.)etn is supposed! to he written a short time atter the event that oc casioned it took place. It is meant to be con. sidered as a record in verse of the sentiments universally entertained respecting the .character of her Royal •Highness the Princess ,Citaat.oTTE Of WALES, and of the profound grief expressed at her death by the wholeßritish Nation. Its con clusion refers to the solemn acts of devotion per formed by every class.of leis IN:ajesty's Subjects on the day of her funeral " 'Such was the intention of the Author, and his work may really be considered as the collected efinsions of national sympathy, .on one of the most affecting: events that the history of this Country lids recorded. - The merit of this Poem has already•enabled it to pass through three Edi tions, and we donht not that•it will become more generally known and admired. There is no.ant - - bition of poetical flights, but the simplicity of genuine feeling seems to be its chief characteristic. We do not mean-to - say that it is wanting in•poe tical•energy. Ott the contrary, there. are many passages highly poetical, and many striking•simi lies, bitt they seem to arise front the imagination, when tinder the guidance-and - Controul of sensibi lity. The sentiments are natural and appropriate, the language wholly unaffected, and upon the whole it is a tribute of respect to the memory of the departed PRINCESS which does honour to the talents as well as to the heart of the Author. The' following . passage displays sentiments' so pathetic, and the latter part is so strictly pro phetical of the reception of Prince LLoPoLo, that . we select it as a fair specimen of the work : " PRINCESS, adien!—Though thou drt set in death And seen no more, yet our reeettling love Shall be an Ocean-mirror, where thy Name, August and Star-like, shall fur ever shine. Thou hast not reign'd—lt was thy filial wish, In long subjection to thy Father's ride, His glory might. enhance, his love endear Thy private bliss; while !hat, in sweet return, Might soften and relieve his public cares; . • And thou should'st recoinreose his duteous pangs For a beloved and venerable Site; By solacirp , his own decline of life . With all that he could hope fur in a child. • Thoil hast not reign'd, except in British hearts, Where, in the thought of what thou would'st have been, Thou, lira dei►r brief space, host reign'd au age. Thou art not mother to a line of Kings ; Yet shalt thou so transmit thy worth's fair fame, That regal excellence, when blazon'd most, Shall mind all times of what we piettu'd thee I Thy spouse bath lost in thee a promis'd Queen. Yet can noforeign honour equal that Which pointing cries, " This is•the Lv.oro.t.n Whom English UnAtti.oTry lov'd ," and it) sup land • Thy mere remembrance with Imperial powcr Shall hover, as-a S raph sit It's side, Securing him whceever lie Jkal:: Love and obeisance for a guard of Steer. From streets alid windows throag'd, smiles now ii with sighs. Rais'd hands, and gazing - silence, - shall :proclaim, frhat blessings 0,5 his head a nation pours. Enes oft nround him shall-he fill'd with tears, frith pearly tears, inure precious to the he 111, Than the rich jewels q* a kingly •Crown.
